Thumbs up, getting better...

by

There have been many improvements. Moving in the right direction, but here are a couple more:

Copy/paste + Reference: the mobile version is actually better at this than the mac version. In the mobile version, you can select multiple verses. In this app, it only seems that you can copy and paste one at a time. Also, the reference and version citation is at the end of the verse in this app (which I do not prefer), but it’s at the beginning of the verse in the iPad app, which i do prefer. Perhaps an option for where the reference/version citation appears could be useful. Also recommend adding the ability to be able to copy more than one verse at time.

Syncing Progress indicator: As I’m composing notes for a sermon/lesson, I like to sync frequently to ensure I don’t lose my work. The inability to see the sync progress on the mac version of this app has actually cost me some notes. I typed I long sermon into the notes, and then hit the sync button. A few minutes later, i synced my iPad, but the mac app wasn’t finished syncing yet, so it actually synced to the ipad version that i had, which was not nearly complete. On the ipad, I can watch it start and stop syncing. But on the mac, I tell it to sync, and I have no clue if it’s syncing, or when it’s done. I recommend adding a visible sync progress indicator so that a user can know when all of their info is finished syncing.

almost 5 starts!!

Best way to study.

I have been investing in Logos for years, but primarily bought Olive Tree for the NA28 Greek Text with Mounce Parsing, which works great! My only qualm, and the only reason for the 4 stars rather than five, is that the Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament (which is incredible) does not come with the introduction. It just starts at the α entries. And the parsing codes do not expand, neither on a labtop or mobile device. So there is no way to know the parsing codes… This is a pretty major issue for me. I believe other similar resources are missing introductions. This is like using a product that can be quite complicated without the owners manual. This is something that should be remedied as soon as possible. Then I would give this program 6 stars, because it really is great. Logos and Accordance are their biggest competitors, but I have some stuff from all three, because they offer slightly different features and content. Olive Tree is a wonderful product that is worthy of serious consideration for bible study aids. We live in an age where study is dramatically different than the giants of the past had to get things done, and it is exciting. Olive Tree is on the front lines of innovative technology that helps disciples learn fast and effectively and easily! Take a leap and see the greatness available to you!

My most used Bible program

by

I have many Bible programs including another well-known competitor which has a larger resource base. I continually go back to this program because of its speed and ease of use. The ipad version is unsurpassable compared to its competitors. It is the easiest to use. It may not be able to do some of the fancier searches( I hope they are working on this though) but it is the easiest to use and the cheapest to get into. This also means you get what you need rather than spending a lot of for things you don’t. Olive Tree is adding great resources all the time. You can use the Resource guide to quickly scan your commentaries and study Bibles, outlines and look up topics from the text in your dictionaries, etc. If you watch for the sales this is by far the cheapest way to get the books you want. They are also very responsive to issues that may come up concerning the program. This is a very valuable tool which has been around for a long time and one I recommend to everyone who is studying God’s word.
